PH351

I thought i'd open a new thread to ask this as there isn't much here in the 6 cyl section yet. If I wanted to put a 4.0 Litre into my FE, which model would be the preferred? Maybe even the top three in case number one is hard to find or out of budget, etc. In my case i would like to use the 4spd auto as well. Not sure if i will ever go turbo but if so, does this affect which model i should go for?

My Ltd has a triple din sized hole at the moment. I might have to buy me a little android tablet. Android makes more sense for this as my tablet can have a hard drive plugged in via USB as well as a slot for a 32gig micro SD card.

Handy on stock headunits that don't have rca outputs. I would have done this in my corolla if the factory in dash stacker hadn't shat itself.

Are you saying that you already have RCA's to front and rear but now with the new head unit you have nowhere to plug in the rears? My current stereo has 3 sets - fr, RR and sub which are all in use. I'm shortly going to upgrade but I'm finding most have front and another for rear/sub. I just bought some little rca splitters, kind of like a double adapter to try out. $1 each. Not sure how it will go but maybe an option for you if all your wiring is already done. Depends on if you actually want a fader. I just have the rears toned down a little on the amp. I'm also keen on feedback about the deck. Pics and comments once its done.

That's a cool video. Playing it on my tablet and the sound is awesome. Takes off pretty hard.

I have one sub. 4 ohms. My amp gives it 300watts RMS. If I connect another so that they are connected in parallel then I get a load of 2 ohms and my amp will supply 500watts RMS. If I connect a total of 4 I have a 1 ohm load and a smoking amp as it is only rated at 2 or 4 ohms. There are dual voice coil sub's which change it all. I'm not familiar with them though. Mine is a single 4ohm coil. I guess the difference in ohms decided how many watts your amp is delivering. In my case 300 watts@4 ohm or 500 watts@2ohm. I will eventually run 2 sub's for that reason. Not sure if that's any help but a tired little 3 yo is calling me so that's all I've got.

I'm pretty sure I saw a green eb or similar with modified 17" territory stockies. Not sure which forum though.

Can't wait to see it out on the strip. Nice find.

Some nice little crossflows popping up on there.

I bought similar off ebay. Mine is a little black one you mount to the windscreen. It also has a 12v wire. Haven't tried it yet but not paying 100+ dollars that normal guard mount universal aerials seem to be at retail shops.

Gaming cockpit complete with cupholder. Love it.

Yeah I saw that. Thought I liked the wrong one. I have seen shifty shit like this before. Awhile ago I watched a barina facia kit. Lets say $50 free postage. Did that as I was still debating about whether to buy her a cd player or not. Went in there a few weeks later and suddenly its $50 and $200 postage.

I forgot about costco. Might have a look next time I'm there.

Just added that to my watch list, aka birthday list. Make sure you post up your thoughts if you buy it.

Original post is different to my ethanol experience. When mine was full it displayed full but did heaps of klms before the first bar dropped and then they went real quick. A few tanks of normal fuel, 98 in my case as that is all I use, and all came good. One point to think about with fuel. I usually run only bp in the LTD but last time out I went shell. This was on a big cruise up to arthurs seat. My fuel gauge acted like I was using the E10. I was really suss on it. Using Tapatalk on my SIII because I can!

E10 and E85 are ethanol. United have a 100 octane ethanol fuel too. Using Tapatalk on my SIII because I can!

Good to hear some positive reports on these. Had considered one years ago but didn't know anyone who had tried one. Using Tapatalk on my SIII because I can!

If I was still going clevo I was going to look into using one of these. I like the idea of an overdrive, for the street anyway.

Not sure if this helps at all. Mine is an 85 FE but the sticker isn't in great shape. Sent from my GT-I9305 using Tapatalk

Im thinking of looking for a donor car for my FE as soon as my wagon moves on. I want to run power steer and air on. Can I use the complete AU motor with bolt ons (a/c, pwr str, alt) as is or do I have to mix and match. Can they be set up for a dizzy? If I happened to score one with a T5 and I run straight gas do I need the computer? I want to buy as much as possible before hand before I pull mine apart.

Seeing as I'm sniffing around in the Windsor section I thought I may as well bump this. Did you find the culprit?

Mmm, I need to hit this thread tonight when I'm on the home wifi. I love a V8 at full noise but some of these little turbo 4 bangers in the hill climbs sound pretty bloody good. I can see myself going off into a 3 hour YouTube odyssey tonight.

I love rat rods. This should come out pretty good. Interested to see how the wheels will look. There were some rat rods in the Nats pics that had shiny chrome wheels, definite no no. The black will be much better.

My FE might be getting a new engine soon, not sure if it will be a six or eight. Either way I want to rip out the petrol tank and install an LPG tank there. Not sure if existing LPG tank will stay or go. Will probably stay. Anyone know who is best to talk to? Probably my most worrying hurdle. I don't want to have a 200klm trip between fills. Would really be happy with another 50 usable litres.

Dave, put another vid with boosty noises up to pull us on track!!!!
